Bad Cravings...........

Question

Is this normal? I am starting to shake, I am on day 2, having horrible cravings for the vics and called my doctor and yelled at them to give me something for the w/ds. I had called them last week to let them know my script was running out and they never called back. I doubt that they will call back, but it felt good to get it out. Took a HOT bath and sweated like crazy. Is it normal to still have the taste in my mouth that the vics gave me and when will it go away.

Yes, This is very normal. It will go away. In another two days you will be feeling so much better. NOT NORMAL but a lot better. Stick with it sweetie. You are doing everything right. Try to stay calm and don't draw all your attention on the pills. Pay attention to making it throughout another couple days. ITS OK SWEETHEART I PROMISE. You can do it. almost there. Just hold on K????
IM here for you XOXO, Heather

When I went thru W/D's many times I always got the shakes, I got really really really cold, achy, diarrhea, felt like I was in a cloud, had no energy etc. It's the worst thing besides labor and delivery!!! Dr's suck!! They prescribe these meds and don't tell you how addicting they are or how to slowly come off of them. The Dr's here never call me back either and if they do it takes like 3 days. WTF!!!! You feel like they don't give a #*&@ right? Have you tried that Thomas recipe???? Do you have any benzo's like valium, xanax, ativan? They help. I'm sorry your suffering so bad, I will be joining you probably tomorrow in the suffering. How many pills were you on each day? vics?

No word from shorty yet. Maybe resting (I HOPE) Thank you, I just want to help like so many have been doing and doing for me. It does get better. Four days and you will see a change. Thats right you go kick your feet up and chill. Get some rest and I will check back later to see how you are.

I was taking 8-10 vics a day all of last year. I have tried to quit before but never made it past day three. This will be a new record for me. How are you doing?

What is really going to suck is that once I start to feel "normal" I am going to finally face that fact that I lost a great job and my boyfriend walked out on me two months ago. Oh well, one day at a time right.

Hi Heather my name is Rich 33y/o. Day two from 5 -80mg oxy a day, holding on.

Try not to think of the negative stuff that's fer sure. Believe me you will be able to get another job, and boyfriend, only this time it will be far better. You will exceed everything youve done so far, and feel the best you ever felt!

Hang in there!

desertgirl · Answer

Thanks!! After rereading what I wrote I am just wasting precious energy on all of the old stuff. Time to move on to a better me! Thanks again.

rsd_al · Answer

We gotta hold each other up! You can bet that once through this hell, there is nowhere to go but up!

You got that winning spirit! I know your gonna make it, im just glad the w/d's dont take as long as the length of time we did the drugs lol. That makes it well worth everything we are going to gain from this experience. 

We will all come out stronger, and more confident than ever before.

Dont turn back now, or all that suffering will be for nothing. Hang in there, I know I will be there soon enough myself.
Take Care

desertgirl · Answer

Thank you for your words as I am having terrible cravings today. I hope they go away soon. I am out of the vics so I don't have anymore so no turning back now.
